Middlefield Residents Get Second Chance to Weigh-In on Open Space Sale

Middlefield officials will hold second public hearing tonight on the proposed sale of a 19.76 acre parcel of land along Powder Hill Road.

The hearing comes a week before residents will head to the polls to decide at referendum whether or not to sell the property to Lori Vogel-Brown. Vogel-Brown owns the adjacent property and has offered the town $300,000 for the land which she plans to use to graze her horses.

The deal has come under some criticism from residents who argue that the town should hold onto the property after dividing it from the original Powder Ridge ski area property last year.

The public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Middlefield Community Center.
